Crime drama Whitechapel returned last Monday night, attracting 5.6 million viewers (including 202,000 on ITV1 HD). It narrowly beat BBC1's Spooks in the same 9pm timeslot (which mustered 5.2m), but fell far short of the 8.1m who tuned into series 1's premiere back in February 2009. Still, all things considered, this was a decent start for series 2, but will the ratings hold steady for the remaining two weeks?
